Fed, beware! Ron Paul featured in documentary about financial meltdown

Ron Paul and America’s youth

Throughout the Republican presidential primaries, Ron Paul has done well with young Americans, drawing thousands to his Youth for Ron Paul rallies. However, some of his young fans are still a few years shy of heading to the polls.

Ron Paul won’t be featured in any of the warm-and-fuzzy videos being prepared for the Republican National Convention, but he does play a key role in a soon-to-be released documentary on the causes of America’s financial meltdown.

The Bubble, a documentary coming out in fall of 2012, looks at the current recession, how it happened, and how we can try to keep it from happening again.

In a series of interviews with people who forecast the financial meltdown in 2008, the makers of the documentary aim to “raise consciousness and inform the public about America’s economic future.”

Paul, the Republican congressman from Lake Jackson and three-time presidential candidate, is among the other experts who were asked to talk about topics from interest rates to the auto industry and world currencies.

Paul, who is well known for his strong libertarian views, fits in perfectly in a documentary that posits that low interest rates and banking failures caused the economic downturn.

The documentary is based on the book “Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse” by Dr. Tom Woods.
